set one
Excellent Doing That Rag!!
That's it for the Other One-- HOT!!!
Choice of Morning Dew after Other One!!!!
(njpg- "astounding Morning Dew")
Lovelight- (cut in the recording only flaw)

set two
I like the mellowness of the Dupree's
It sets up the MOUNTAINS!
And yes what a cool Mountains of the Moon.
Could anything be more mellow and laid back after
Dupree's> Mountains drifts into>>>Dark Star
Everything after the STAR is simply gravy.

The intro to DEATH DON'T is Garcia at his BEST.
Anyone notice PIG'S harp during Cosmic Charlie?
Now that is what that tune needs!!!
Alligator>Drumz>Chant
Notes on CHANT- Not a fan, this ones brief.
Just a phase for the drummers.
I saw Mickey / Gyuto Monks
St. John's the Divine in N.Y.C
now that was Chanting.
(Hart eggs Billy into mysticism)
>Back into ALLIGATOR!
>The Bid You Goodnight jam is very well developed.
>The Jam into CAUTION!
Wow! The sound especially Garcia.
Reminds me Mahavishnu Orchestra...inner rising...
Listen to the interplay of band members.
"Told me the same old thing,
she told me one time before"
(then 10 minutes in- a cut)
Jam builds and heads off to >>>SPACE/Feedback!
We Bid You Goodnight!!! (The basis for all those ballad encores the DEAD did over the years)
Only here very important they did not leave the stage for the well being of all DEAD HEADS until rendering W.B.Y.G.
What a show!

Well, damned if that isn't one of the best played and best recorded Mountains of the Moon that I have ever heard. I saw Tom Banjo play once. He's still around, up in Burlington VT these days. Besides old time banjo, his forte is a performance style called Crankys, a series of hand drawn cartoons pasted together and cranked across a light box while he plays. Generally they're pretty funny. Real low tech stuff. His real name is Tom Azarian and his crankys can be seen on YouTube. Here's a lintk to one of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-5bLQLV3Po

The old Electric Factory.

1st the "moon , then to the STARS !!!"
most gentle transition, almost "studio"
such a sublime dark star, you need a warm 10-12 ' bass/subwooffer to appriciate the delacate bass

Astounding Morning Dew. A Dark Star that melts your face off. And on and on. Maybe my favorite show of '69.

Good stuff, I've always been fond of Mountains of the Moon....if you play guitar, try it, makes you appreciate the work that goes into song/music composition.
I like the GDTRFB outro jam during the extended bid you goodnight too...good recording to boot.
